About this product

Digitally remastered, Confessions marks The Style Council's return to eclecticism. Like Cafe Bleu this is a journey through multiple sounds and styles.

Criminally under recognised at the time, it probably serves as a high water-mark in Weller's ambitiousness as a songwriter. Available in this beautifully remastered Compact Disc.

The final Style Council studio album includes such wonderful tunes like 'How She Threw It All Away', 'Why I Went Missing', and 'Changing Of The Guard'.

There's also the experimental, with the three-part classical piece 'The Gardener Of Eden” and the acapella 'Story Of Someone's Shoe'.

It marks a shift from politically motivated pop to songs of a more personal nature. For the most part, the album's material is largely divergent from any of the fads, fashions or prevailing musical styles of the time.

When asked about being unconcerned in gaining a new audience Weller replied: "I do know what you mean and you can never tell because sometimes you want something fresh and challenging. I've never been too concerned with what my audience wants and the album is indulgent but at the same time there's some good tunes on this."

Weller probably crams more craft and incisive wit into the lyrics of this album than into any of his previous or subsequent works.
